I love the little smile John gives at 2:01
I love everything about this video. Perfect.
This has got to be the most stressful thing to do, that is, performing an aria (a high ranged one at that) for the radio, in front of the composer... The pianist might have felt nervous too... But they BOTH KILLED IT! :)
I’d rib him a little. “You couldn’t have transposed that down at least a semitone? Give us a break here.”
Absolutely fantastic. Love Kathleen Kim. Fantastic soprano and actress in a very, very difficult aria. Bravaaaa.
This is a work of genius.
This is really quite incredible. I’m in tears for some reason.
Wonderful performance! And the reactions of both Adams and Sellars throughout...totally entertaining!
I want Kathleen Kim to sing this at my birthday party.
Lmao, my birthday is coming up and I can't wait to hear Kathleen playing Madame Mao's aria in it.
Make sure she finds the path on the way over. Don't forget your book.
lol
don’t forget, she’s gonna scare the people at your bday party 🤣
Sure, you do.
STUNNING.
When she sings "I sucked and pissed," she really seems&sounds like she means business.
amazing. So emotion full... wow
It would be nice to acknowledge the piano accompanist
Oh Bravo..
Except for the acoustics and mics, this is splendid! Sellars and Adams response to the flights of the singer show how much they are deeply connected to the performance. We need less three centuries old composers and more contemporary creators on stage, urgently!
The quintessential Madame Mao. This aria is a killer.
YAAAAAAS.
one of the most difficult aria to sing, I think
Yea I've only heard Kim sing this, and the gal from BBC's Best Singer of the World. So only the best can sing it.
Kathleen Kim is THE definitive Chiang Ch’ing.
Sumi Jo was phenomenal at Chatelet in Paris and my favorite.
Modern opera
Great 😊👌👌👌😊👌 performance
Maravillosa.
A touch slow for me, It seems like Kim is trying to push the tempo but it's not happening.
I totally buy Kathleen. Apparently, she is the wife of Mao Tse-tung. Brilliant. ❤
The booooooooowaaaaaaak the booooooowaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaak!
